Being both Kenyan(Afrikan) and Caribbean(Trinidad)I have been aware and have been educated about what it means to struggle. However, I have found new meaning to what Umoja means when I hear and or read the words *ONE GOD, ONE AIM, ONE DESTINY and I will admit to being ashamed of myself for not doing all that I could when I could. I pray that this book will have the same if not similar effect that it has had on myself because it is no about me any longer (and really never has been ) IT IS NOW AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN ABOUT US. Maurice Bryan, has done an incredible job researching and profiling many of the rastamon who came before us, and their contributions will be remembered for all time. This book has been read 3 times by myself in a span of 48 hrs because it was so excellently documented. It covered not only the root of Rastafari but the ongoing movement into the 2oth century. I am impressed and now feel that I walk away with the information needed to educate others.
